Hi.

I've been buying BB yearly since 2013. My last purchase was the 2021 version. I've not used it all year hence why I've not bought 2022. After installing 2021 on my Laptop I noticed some files were missing. Afer reinstalling everything I sought tech support. Followed their instructions but it did not solve the problem. I gave up after that. Here my problem.

My Laptop shows I have missing files despite everything being installed.

Screenshot

Help to resolve would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is a start: Legend has it that these were never part of a pack and were only sold separately. Did you buy them?

I have bought (almost everything) except what was going to cost me extra $$ that I didn't think I needed to spend at the time. By the way, I am also missing :
MIDI Soloist Disk Sets :
12 Andy Laverne Mainstream
13 Andy Laverne Pentatonic

All these listed below likely fell into that category described above.

Here is what I am missing:

Xtra Styles PAK 2, Dec. 2016, 160 Styles, Bluegrass/World 1, Rock 2, Jazz 2, Pop 2
Xtra Styles PAK 6, Dec. 2018, 160 styles, Folk/Jazz 1, Rock 6, Jazz 6, Pop 6
Xtra Styles PAK 8, Dec. 2019, 164 RealStyles, Rock-Pop 8, Jazz 8, Country 8, and Celtic 1
Xtra Styles PAK 10, Dec. 2020, 200 Styles: Rock/Pop 10, Jazz 10, Country 10, Folk-Celebration 1
Loops-with-Style PAK 1
Loops-with-Style PAK 2
XPro Styles PAK 1

Now can you tell me what that Bike is in your picture? Not a good angle for me to ID it. grin

Needless to say then, when it comes to covering ground comfortably at speed, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT is a bit of a weapon."

The big BMW's are popular here, but the KTM - Hells Bells, that is one crankin machine. We don't see these in the US that I know of. cry

Hi Paul,

Your Xtra Styles purchases would not have installed with the 2021 UltraPAK, so you'll want to download them from your My Products page.

The Andy Laverne Soloist series is not included in Band-in-a-Box installations, and is available for separate purchase at https://www.pgmusic.com/addons.artistsoloists.php?os=win

The Look Ma 6 and MIDI SuperTracks 33 will install with the 2021 49-PAK on your My Products page too.

(also - great bike! I have 2 people in my life with 2008 Superduke 990 R's)

Thats a shame as they are great FAST tourers. Its a much harder ride than the GS. I like both bikes, both have their strengths and weaknesses. I just wanted a grunty V Twin again without losing the touring aspect. The Superduke GT now has the Track Pack and WOW is that exciting to ride in that mode!! The BMW has comfort and is lively but lacks the aggressive power and feels like it gets exhausted past 4/5K revs. The KTM just keeps going smile
